The XX Factor: What women really think.

Like, Abstinent

I thought Bristol Palin came off as astonishingly dim and mind-bogglingly vapid. She reminded me of the random young women that show up on MTV's True Life documentary series, saddled at too young of an age with children they are neither psychologically nor financially able to take care of. I agree with Jessica that the interview seemed more like a f-you to her mother than anything else. When Sarah Palin showed up at one point, it looked as if she could barely contain her desire to climb across the table and throttle Bristol for having agreed to this ... interview? While watching "news" as substantive as cotton candy that made me wonder if it induced IQ point loss, I was most embarrassed for (by? on behalf of?) Greta Van Susteren, an obviously intelligent woman who for reasons beyond my comprehension has lowered herself to political coverage that has more in common with an E! Miley Cyrus profile than whatever this was supposed to be. My favorite Bristol sound bite: "Everyone should be abstinent or whatever." Whatever, indeed.
